Introduction VH Fibre Optics (Pty) Ltd is a value-add distribution and installation service’s company which commenced business in October 2008 specializing in fibre optic network solutions. The company’s is equally owned by Patrick van Heerden (50%), John van Reenen (1%) and the Building Exciting Education Trust (49%). John van Reenen is a qualified accountant and has over the past 30 years built a multi-million rand steel business twice. Patrick van Heerden is the company’s managing director. He has 16 years’ experience in the fibre optic industry ranging from installations, sales and product management. His experience includes installation and commissioning of up to 240 core fibre optic metropolitan rings, long-haul as well as business connections in the London Metropolitan area for fixed telecom operators such as Cable & Wireless, British Telecom and NTL Telewest Business. His experience locally includes that of the industrial, telecom, security and premise environments. Patrick has specialized in blown fibre and blown mini cable solutions and has been involved with the method statement and training of Neotel Contractors in the initial rollout of micro duct in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. In 2006/2007 he was involved in the splicing and commissioning of 480km of the Trans-Kalahari Fibre Optic Backbone in Botswana. In Dubai, he was involved in the design and installation of one of the largest blown fibre networks in the United Arab Emirates, namely the Dubai Central Prison. Patrick is a Certified Fibre Optic Technician approved by the Fibre Optic Industry Association, as well as a certified Sirocco Blown Fibre Trainer. VH Fibre Optics (Pty) Ltd is one of the founding members of the Fibre to the Home Council Africa. A Proud BEE Company

VH Fibre Optics (Pty) Ltd (“VH Fibre”) recently upgraded itself to a broad based black –economic empowerment (BBBEE) company. The directors, Patrick van Heerden and John van Reenen, are proud to announce a 49% shareholding acquired by the Building Exciting Education Trust. The trust is a socio-economic development beneficiary under Statement 700 or, the Codes of Practice, issued under Section 9 of the BBBEE Act of 2003. VH Fibre Optics (Pty) Ltd has a level 2 BBBEE scorecard and is 49% black owned. The transaction, which took place in July 2012, is a milestone for the company. This is not just because it is required by law, but because of the work of the trust which is playing an important role in the country’s education system. The trust is involved in upgrading primary schools in underprivileged areas of Johannesburg and Cape Town, affecting the lives of more than 2 000 children a year. The main focus of the trust is to give children, many from

informal settlements in the school’s area, hope that they can aspire to better living standards and to make schools a place where they would like to spend more time. Schools are chosen from the very poorest areas, which typically have little maintenance expenditure allocations. The trust endeavours to employ unemployed parents of schools as tillers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and general labourers. It supplies all materials and supervises the upgrading of classrooms, toilets and school grounds. The directors of VH Fibre feel that this is the way BBBEE should be done in South Africa. No one is getting rich, except for the children that the trust invests in. VH Fibre would like to inspire corporate South Africa to use their model of how BBBEE can be done successfully. VH Fibre, as a proudly South African company and a member of corporate South Africa, is proud to achieve this BBBEE status. More importantly, VH Fibre believes that in investing in the future of the country, they are also ensuring the future survival of not just VH Fibre, but corporate South Africa, thus contributing to the long term economic growth and a more secure future for the children of tomorrow.

Telecoms Solutions This business covers the main product sectors of optical cable, (for land, overhead and sub-aqueous applications), copper multipair telecom cable (including xDSL technologies) and a full range of optical passive connectivity solutions. For optical cable Prysmian Group is the world leader in terms of market share and is a main supplier to many of the world’s leading telecom operators in Europe, the Americas and the Asian regions including Australia. Similarly, we are one of the world leaders in the supply of copper telecom cable, with the global capability to meet the requirements of major operators in all continents. In addition to the supply of high-volume cable, generally to national and international specifications, the company has developed a unique range of optical systems – under the xsNet brand – which addresses the particular requirements of the ‘last mile’, access network. The FTTH market is currently growing rapidly in line with the growth in broadband demand – driven by the current explosion in high bandwidth services and the need to provide more and more megabits to the end user.

Optical fibre Prysmian Group is also a world leader in this highly specialized field. With production based in Europe, North and South America and using the most sophisticated manufacturing processes, including PCVD (Plasma-activated Chemical Vapor Deposition) and OVD (Outside Vapor Deposition), Prysmian Group is able to supply a wide range of fibre types to suit every application – single-mode, multimode and fibres for special applications.

MultiMedia Solutions The cables produced within the Telecom Solutions business are generally for application at national or regional telecom operator level. However, we also produce optical and copper cables for use in other applications, such as studio cables for radio, TV and film; signaling cables for railway network systems; coaxial RF cables; connections between base station and antenna in mobile networks; copper and fibre cables for short/medium distance applications in offices and data centers etc. All of these types of cable design – and more – are produced within the MultiMedia Solutions (MMS) business unit. TELECOMS TECHNOLOGY FOR A CHANGING WORLD Across the world, economic growth, entertainment, employment, e-learning and e-health depend more and more on fi bre networks. Broadband is creating new lifestyle choices and stimulating economies everywhere. Governments and investors are increasingly discovering that access to fast communication networks is vital to homes and businesses in rural and urban communities. Responding to this demand, Prysmian Group is introducing new cabling technologies that deliver information wherever it’s required, connecting communities, countries and continents more closely than ever before. A notable example involves our work with the Australian Government as it is investing in the creation of a Fibre-to-the-Premises network, connecting 93% of Australia’s residential and business premises with optical fibre. After being selected by NBN Co Limited (National Broadband Network), Prysmian Group has partnered the Australian Government in achieving this vision, playing an integral role in the largest national building infrastructure project in Australia’s history. The Group contributes through the provision of a wide range of ribbon and multi-fibre, termite resistant, rodent-proof and high strength communication cables. Prysmian offers a complete service from design and development and manufacture through to technical support of commissioned cable networks. Planning and logistics are the cornerstone of our operation, with quality maintained through the expertise and dedication of all our staff working across the business to ISO 9001 and 14000 standards. • Worldwide leaders in standards activities • Representation on all key committees • Set the standard – we don’t just follow it! • Products offered comply with major international and European standards • IEC (International Electro technical Committee) • ITU (International Telecommunications Union) • ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) • CECC (CENELEC Electronic Components Committee) • National/local committees • BSI (British Standards Institution) & European equivalents • US EIA/TIA (Telecommunication Industry Association) • FTTH Council Europe
